Cout<< Problems!

This is a discussion on Cout<< Problems! within the C++ Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; The screen displays Hello when I use cout<<"hello"; for only like one second (I think because I have virtual DOS) ...

Its ok

I found it it was std::cin.get(); but now I need to know how to put charcters (More than one) into my program, like I ask someone to type there name and tell them the name they typed, and I looked all in the FAQ but couldnt find it!
